Mammalian protein farnesyl transferases are heterodimeric proteins containing two nonidentical alpha and beta subunits that attach farnesyl residues to a cysteine at the fourth position from the COOH terminus of several proteins, including nuclear lamins and p21Ras proteins. The natural substrates contain the Cys-A-A-Xaa recognition sequence, where the A residues are aliphatic and Xaa represents methionine, serine, glutamine or cysteine. The purified farnesyl transferase is an a-b heterodimer. The beta subunit, which is known as FTbeta, CAAX farnesyltransferase subunit beta, or Ras proteins prenyltransferase subunit beta, is a 437 amino acid protein that contains five PFTB repeats and binds the peptide substrate. The alpha subunit is suspected to participate in formation of a stable complex with the substrate farnesyl pyrophosphate.
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
